  • Hospital Prefer Tiered Hospitals 2018
    HARVARD PILGRIM’S Hospital Prefer Tiered Hospitals 2018 Harvard Pilgrim Hospital Prefer is a hospital tiered provider network. It consists of three tiers for participating hospitals. Using national quality benchmarks, as well as plan medical expense information, we placed participat ing hospitals in Tier 1, Tier 2 or Tier 3. You select which hospitals you go to for care and you can control how much you pay out-of-pocket. You pay less when you choose care at lower-tiered hospitals. The hospitals you typically go to depend upon the admitting privileges of the physicians you see. If you have established relationships with certain doctors, you will want to know the hospitals where they admit patients. This will help you plan accordingly for medical costs. Some providers have admitting privileges at more than one hospital, so it’s important to know in advance where your doctor will send you if needed. To learn if your doctors and other clinicians are in the Harvard Pilgrim network, and the hospitals to which they admit patients, please refer to Harvard Pilgrim’s Hospital Prefer provider directory. You can find the most up-to-date Hospital Prefer provider directory online at www.harvardpilgrim.org or you can request one to be mailed to you at no charge by calling us at (800) 848-9995. If you’re already a Harvard Pilgrim member, call (888) 333-4742.

  • Hospital Status Update (Pdf)
    HOSPITAL STATUS UPDATE January 26, 2021 In the absence of clear, comprehensive, standard requirements and specific guidance that acute care hospitals must adhere to in Connecticut to prevent discriminatory practices should rationing of care become necessary, hospitals have been on their own, resulting in widely divergent policies, many conveying conflicting responses as to their policies, many not producing any policies at all, and almost uniformly falling short of providing necessary protections to prevent discriminatory practices, in violation of federal and state anti- discrimination laws. Even with this information in hand, DPH has steadfastly refused to issue uniform policy guidelines to Connecticut hospitals. Hartford Hospital Has produced a detailed protocol for any necessary rationing which fully complies with the coalition’s 11 protections against discrimination. Backus Hospital (same as Hartford Hospital) Charlotte Hungerford (same as Hartford Hospital) Hospital Windham Hospital (same as Hartford Hospital) Yale New Haven Health Provided an updated guidance that addresses all protections except fails to ensure right to appeal in all cases, and in questionnaire justifies applying a longer term survival test (though claims not to apply one). Bridgeport Hospital (Same as YNHHS) Greenwich Hospital (Same as YNHHS) Lawrence + Memorial (Same as YNHHSl) Hospital Bristol Hospital Responded with a statement that they do not have any written guidance but in completing the questionnaire checked off that they comply with all of the 11 requests. Danbury Hospital Responded with a statement that it did not have any written guidance and refused to fill out the questionnaire about compliance with the 11 requests on that basis. Day Kimball Hospital Says it has no written guidance and fails to answer whether it is compliant with the 11 requests, but indicates it intends to produce a document at some point.
